The only game I was allowed to own was Sonic two, which pissed me off because I asked for Sonic and Knuckles.

Oddworld for Gameboy. I thought the squidfaced guys with big guns in the ads were cool looking but the game was butt loving ugly and I hated the puzzles



Oh yeah, THAT happened.

My younger cousin got a psone after I did and we planned to get different games so we could swap and he ended up buying Total Drivin’ which was the first time I ever thought I would rather do nothing than play video games. Later on his older brother tricked me into swapping disc 1 of Abe’s Exoddus for a scratched copy of Ricky Ponting Cricket.

I spent half of my childhood overseas (Japan, Bahrain) and half in a town in Northern Virginia. In Virginia we lived adjacent to a ritzy golf course and country club, and we would constantly have golf balls end up in our backyard and around the neighborhood. I would stockpile them and then sell them back to the golfers as they had to cross a public road at a 'country club designated crosswalk' or whatever. I would fill up my little red wagon with as many golf balls as I could and I had a piece of plywood that I painted to announce my wares. The golfers got to pick which ones they wanted. I learned after a couple weeks that I could sell Titleist Pro-V's for five each.

I also used to weigh packs of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokemon cards using a jeweler's scale (coke dealing scale), buy the heaviest packs, open them in the car with my mom, and then sell the holos I would pull to a TCG shop across the street.

I love this story but I have no idea what living in Bahrain and Japan has to do with it
